German cockroaches on the loose

One of the most notorious common cockroaches in the family is the German cockroach. They are easily identifiable and largely found in houses, restaurants and hotels. These cockroaches are much larger than Australian and American cockroaches. The adult can grow about 12 to 15 mm and they are one foul pest that is a huge nuisance to environment and household.

The German cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, meaning, they are widely distributed to other nations, especially those with tropical climates. The mature female German roach can lay 35 to 45 Egg cases or called ootheca, which also encapsulates multiple eggs. These eggs hatch in about 1 month and the nymphs flourish to survive and develop into adults between 6 months to 6 months. German roaches can multiply fast, normally 3 to 4 generations per year. German cockroaches are nocturnal pests, meaning they are active nighttime creepy crawlers. They can thrive both indoors and outside and prefers wet, humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

Adults are half an inch long, light to medium brown with 2 dark, identifying stripes behind the head. The young are wingless, smaller and much darker in colour, with a light stripe in their backs. German cockroaches will eat anything. They stay close to food and water source. Females reproduce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. Infestations are often found in kitchens, bathrooms, but can inhabit different areas if there’s a heavy population or you have run them into each other with the repellent effect of insecticides.

Notorious for their worldwide distribution, German cockroaches are easily identifiable by 2 dark longitudinal stripes on their pronotum. Adults grow to about 12 — 15mm in length. Most commonly found indoors, they prefer moist, humid conditions and are generally found in kitchens and bathrooms in homes and commercial properties.

• Make sure food isn’t left in the sink strainers and frequently run the garbage disposal
• Food containers should be sealed.

How Do You Prevent German Cockroaches?

Your property could be an ideal breeding ground for cockroaches. There are multiple ways they could gain entry to buildings: through cracks, crevices, vents, sewers, pipe drains, open windows and doors and in products brought into premises.

The German cockroach can proceed and dart in and outside of the building. They also can travel from a neighbouring apartment or place to another and may pass through small openings such as light switch plates. That’s why an unsuspecting infestation requires specialist help. Pest control experts do a thorough site review to discover all potential harborages and also as identifying the kind of cockroach species invading the area.

Doing a DIY method cannot simply guarantee complete eradication of cockroaches. If insecticides have been used, there is a risk that the German cockroach simply sprinkled to another area. Professional assistance, especially for unidentified infestation, is important so as to locate and treat these harborages. If infestation is suspected, you can discuss this with our certified technicians for successful cockroach control in your home or business.
